Our point: This season, we've been starving for color. So when Ginnifer Goodwin wore this stunning scarlet Monique Lhuillier to the Met Gala earlier this year, we thought no way could this dress look any better. But then came Eva Longoria. And in black, of all things.

The onetime Desperate Housewives star wore the cap-sleeved chiffon Lhuillier as one of several costume changes she made as cohost for the recent ALMA Awards. The chameleon—we counted something like six looks total—wore the gown with Tom Ford shoes and Martin Katz jewels. Like her fashion rival Goodwin, she wisely wore her hair up, letting that busy neckline go to work almost as a statement accessory.
